Thought the Sony head episode was going to be ok, but what a great episode!! Revelation of Seth Rogen character on The Studio was pretty amazing

United States24 days ago - Good
I really love this show but Matt, come up for air once in a while. Too much having a guest on to talk about Disney and then cutting them off to tell them how wrong they are about Dana Walden’s priorities for the next few years lately. Consistently good pov’s and insights, just try to take it easy
Apple Podcasts4Sicknasty95United Statesa month ago - My favorite entertainment podcast
Matt is a pretty great host. I appreciate when he calls out terms and things that the average Joe might not know. He can get pretty enthusiastic and cut off the guests at times but I think he’s done a better job at reeling that in.
The variety of guests and topics keeps this podcast from feeling stale like most other podcasts.
Apple Podcasts5JangaroofuUnited Statesa month ago - Stop interrupting!
Matt, dude, you gotta stop interrupting your guests.
Apple Podcasts3C0M0United Statesa month ago - Solid but could be great
This is a super solid podcast but sometimes Belloni can be a little overwhelming and take up a lot of the oxygen in conversations.
